Sleeping earlier than bed time

[SportsTR]

My beardie has had his awake and sleeping times down pat, he knew exactly when his light would go off by going near his sleeping spot right before bed time.

Now i've got him a log that he can hide under, and he likes to go under to cool down. Lately though, about an hour before bed time he goes to sleep. Instead of going to bed at 10 when he's supposed to, he goes to bed at 9 under his log. Why does he do this?

BUMP

Any thoughts?

Mine also do that. It is normal especially nearing the end of the summer months as brumation is nearing.

Mine are doing that too. My lazybones Bob is usually in his cave sound asleep 4-5 hours before lights out these days! :roll:

Brumation.. Do I have to make my dragon do this? And should I be preparing for it? Like changing his hours of light, food levels, anything like that?

I just got a baby, he's about a week old.. and he does this. He climbs the branch and will get in his sleeping position and close his eyes about 1-2 hours earlier than lights out time. Completely normal
